As a child, the protagonist of this novel is delighted to be referred to as "almost pretty," and she is described as "often inattentive, and occasionally stupid," although she is witty enough to note that she "cannot speak well enough to be unintelligible." This novel's narrator leaves it to the reader to decide whether it recommends parental tyranny or filial disobedience. Its fifth chapter ends with a digression by the narrator in defense of reading novels. The plot is set in motion when Mr. and Mrs. Allen invite the protagonist on a trip to Bath.

For 10 points, name this novel in which Henry Tilney eventually marries Catherine Morland.
